Providing food to 300+ to 500+ families each month
This rural northern area of Spokane County in Eastern Washington is one of the poorest areas, with high unemployment levels and many seniors on fixed incomes. The Pantry serves people closer to their homes out here, because increased gas prices and inflation are making it difficult to travel from this outlying area to apply for assistance in downtown Spokane.
Our clients average 125 - 200 lbs. of groceries per family per month. The North County Food Pantry is a “Home-like" setting where you can come in and have a lively conversation with neighbors. You may have a delicious hot meal as you wait or get a shower, or do laundry (with the condition that it must be done by closing time).
The Senior Box Program
In addition to our regular food distribution, the Pantry also provides government-issued senior commodity boxes. The boxes are available to adults age 60 and older who meet income guidelines. Enrollment is simple, clients complete a straight forward application with verification of address and ID, along with verbal income and household declaration, making the process quick and accessible.
Each senior box weighs about 32 pounds and includes a variety of nutritious staples such as cereal, canned goods, juices, vegetables, fruit, crackers, cheese and instant or shelf stable milk. These items help stretch limited budgets and ensure that our seniors have consistent access to healthy, reliable food each month. Senior boxes may be picked up beginning the third Monday of each month at the Pantry, providing a reliable and convenient schedule for our seniors clients.

Every person who walks through our doors is greeted with warmth, dignity and genuine care.
Since 1984, the North County Food Pantry has been a melting pot of kindness-neighbors helping neighbors through some of life's hardest moments. We provide food and essential resources to individuals and families through out north Spokane county, ensuring that no one our community has to face hunger alone.
Our work is made possible by more than 45 dedicated volunteers who give their time and hearts each week. They are joined by generous partners-local organizations, businesses, schools, churches and community clubs who donate, fund raise and collect items for the Pantry on a regular basis. Together, they form the backbone of a loving and compassionate community that that continually shows up for those in need.
We are deeply grateful for every person who makes this mission possible.
